Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Amor is masculine in Portuguese because it descends from Latin "amōr" (accusative "amōrem"), which was a masculine noun in the second declension, and Portuguese preserved this gender along with the -or ending that typically marks masculine nouns. The Latin word itself likely derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *am- meaning "to love," but the masculine gender was simply inherited from Latin grammar rather than determined by the root's meaning.
